The usual commercial shipments handled are as follows:

LCL (less than container load) – process via any LPK location

FCL (Laparkan load) – process at one of our gateway

FCL (Shipper load) – can handle at any Zip code or Postal code in USA/Canada

Vehicles – shipped in a container and require 72 hours at the Port of departure for Customs clearance

OOG (Out of Gauge or oversize) equipment: may require special equipment to handle and will be quoted on a unique basis.

Commercial shipments for export, from the USA will usually require the following documents and procedure in order to complete the transaction:

Self propelled vehicles for export require a set of specific documents for US Customs and in addition the vehicle must be lodged with US Customs at the Port of Export for 72 hours before scheduled departure.

Shipments imported into the USA for re-export may be handled as “Bonded cargo” and would require temporary storage in a bonded warehouse and must be re-exported within 15 calendar days. Laparkan can provide the necessary Customs brokerage for shipments using its in-house brokers as required. Laparkan operates as a bonded Container Freight Station (CFS) at its Miami gateway location and is authorized to handle “bonded cargo”. To get to the US Customs website, please go to www.cbp.gov
